Julia Jensen, DO
Hailing from a rural area outside Boyertown, Pennsylvania, Dr. Julia Jensen is a dedicated family physician with a rich academic and professional background. She studied at Drexel University and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, earning a DO degree (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine). She further honed her medical skills during her family medicine residency at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa in San Antonio, Texas, and has been practicing family medicine since 1999. In 2020, she achieved diplomate status from the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine.
A staunch believer in holistic treatment, Dr. Jensen considers all aspects of a person's health and wellness. To bolster this approach, she was certified in Lifestyle Medicine in 2020, enhancing her ability to guide patients toward lifestyle changes as primary therapy in managing their diseases and overall health.
Her battle with breast cancer in 2017 underscored the significance of maintaining healthier lifestyle habits. She incorporated a predominantly whole-food, plant-based diet, meditation, running, and biking into her regimen, which proved crucial in her journey to survivorship. Guiding patients through their health journey's ups and downs and helping them achieve and maintain lifelong health has become her true calling.
Dr. Jensen is an active outdoor enthusiast. She enjoys running on trails, mountain biking, practicing yoga, hiking, and camping with her husband and three children during her leisure time. Since moving to Boise in 2013, she has found a joyful and fulfilling home.
